Hi I’m Lesley the owner and creator of NutkinTailz Designs. I hail from Modbury which is a suburb north east of Adelaide the capital of South Australia, yeah the land of Oz. Been married to my better half (gotta say that he’s reading this over my shoulder) for nearly 10 years and we have a 21yo son (yes I know the son came first for those doing their sums) I love animals and have 2 cats, a dog, some fish and all the native wildlife that comes to visit from time to time. My humour is eer well zany, crazy and totally naughty. Reading and digi-scrap design are my hobbies and I’m in love with my computer. I work full time in the accounts department for a well known and long established bakery about 10 minutes from home, lucky ay!!

Designing started about 5 years back doing freebies for friends who couldn’t quite find what they wanted so they put their orders in and after 18 months of that they talked me into selling my creations. Motivation comes from many places usually colours or something that catches my eye and I go from there. My style is many and varied but I totally love vintage and grunge but bright and airy will do depending on my mood or colours I’m working with. I've just discovered art journaling and I've been having a bit of fun doing kits in that genre too. You can be guaranteed a quality product as I'm a strong believer in quality control as I personally don't like to spend good money to receive a substandard product so I wouldn't expect my customers to receive anything less than 100%. I also like to create a freebie when I release a new kit and they are always available on my blog NutkinTailz Designs you might also be wondering how I came about my design name, well as a little girl one of my favourite recorded stories was by Beatrix Potter called Squirrel Nutkin and there was a song he sang on the record that drove my poor dear Dad crazy, he hated it. Nutkin also had a huge fluffy tail and we have a cat called Tailz who actually has the biggest fluffiest tail that we've ever seen, and of course I can't spell anything normally so that's how NutkinTailz came about.My store is on sale for the week that I'm the featured designer, just use this one off coupon code to get 40% of your entire purchase from my store: Nutkin40
